WPA - Connect Script

[txt3rob]

can you include the script from the newbiews area?

#!/usr/bin/bash

iwconfig eth0 mode managed essid "linksys"
printf "* - Configured interface\n"
ifconfig eth0 up
printf "* - Interface up\n"
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
printf "* - wpa_supplicant running, sleeping for 5...\n"
sleep 5
printf "* - Running dhcpcd\n"
dhcpcd eth0
ifconfig eth0 | grep inet

something like that so it make it easy to connect to WPA networks instead of having to go thru all that please

Why not just make the script you need for your system and create a custom ISO with MySLAX creator which adds it with the rootcopy functionality?

They can't really include the script because they don't know the details of your network (ie: essid, which interface to bring up, etc etc.....)

I whipped up a new version of that script, and if anybody wants to help beta test it please feel free. Just save it to a fresh document and make it executable (chmod +x SCRIPT_NAME).

#!/usr/bin/bash

#wpa_connect script by Hobz of #remote-exploit
#Currently in beta, needs testing
#April 2, 2007

INT=$1
ESSID=$2

if [ -z "$2" ]; then
 printf "Usage: $0 [interface] [ESSID]\n"
 printf "$0 will create a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file if none exists"
 printf "Default driver: wext\n"
 exit
fi

function connect {
 ifconfig $INT down
 iwconfig $INT mode managed essid "$ESSID"
 printf "* - Configured interface\n"
 ifconfig $INT up
 printf "* - Interface up\n"
 wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i$INT -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
 printf "* - wpa_supplicant running, sleeping for 10...\n"
 sleep 10
 printf "* - Running dhcpcd\n"
 dhcpcd $INT
 ifconfig $INT | grep inet
}

function conf_create {
 printf "What is your passphrase?\n"
 read "PASSPHRASE"
 printf "* - running wpa_passphrase\n"
 wpa_passphrase "$ESSID" "$PASSPHRASE" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
printf "* - done.  Starting to connect...\n"
}

if [ -f /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ]; then
 connect
else
 conf_create
 connect
fi

I'm not sure where that's coming from. Try copying the script over again. Or, you can test out the new version for me.

I think that happens when you use certain Windows editors to paste and save from. In any case, check out this link http://www.freebsddiary.org/control-m.php
